Question

Solve using elimination 2x+2y=8 3x+2y=12

Answer 1

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+2y=8\\3x+2y=12&\text{change the signs}\end{array}\right\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+2y=8\\-3x-2y=-12\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad-x=-4\to\boxed{x=4}\\\\\text{Put the value of x to the first equation:}\\\\2(4)+2y=8\\8+2y=8\qquad\text{subtract 8 from both sides}\\2y=0\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\boxed{y=0}\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{x=4\ and\ y=0\to(4,\ 0)}$
